The industry is particularly active in the sustainable enhancement of supply chains and manufacturing that support the production of natural and sustainable ingredient technologies.

Recently, Azelis opened a new extraction and distillation facility in Denmark that runs solely on biobased feeds and “incorporates a sophisticated downstream system which handles and minimizes waste,” per the company. The site produces concentrated Scansmoke-branded smoke flavors that offer smoky undertones to spice blends and food applications and support the reduction of salt in recipes.
